It's nice but I can't see the dealership warranting all those mods

Knockoff front lip? That's hilarious.

"Special editions" like this are always for people with more money than sense. They usually charge $5-$10k or more over what one could build the exact same car for, and all you get is some special paint and badging. I could do the same thing to my car and call mine a "1 of 1" omg who wants to touch me now? Is your car a one of one special edition? Thought not!

It looks nice! I wonder what the price tag is?

Like someone said above you might be able to build it cheaper.

Not sure how they fit 285s on there but it looks good! But what fun is it not.picking out your own mods?

I really like it but building your own is half the fun.

I agree, it looks great but the build is what makes it different and fun.

I don't know man. I'm probably 20k into my car and if this car was priced well I would have gone this route just for the warranty. Granted I've had fun building my car, but if something goes wrong again, I'm boned. This car has top of the line mods and a warranty and no down time. Plus only having 1 of 11 would be sweet. Maybe I'm just a sucker for special editions.

Don't get me wrong, this thing looks awesome! I just like that even though a lot of us have similar mods, a stock version is a clean slate, and each of our cars is unique. I'm not 20k in yet, but have basically my version of most of these mods.

That being said, if I were to buy this, I wouldn't want to change a thing, because I would want it to be just how I bought it. But then I wouldn't have a project. I wouldn't have parts to research, install, compare, etc.

I am happy with my GSR, but that doesn't mean I won't be a bit jealous of whoever buys these .

The wheels are awesome and who wouldn't want the full line up of AMS parts?

I'm wondering more about this warranty as well. The car looks great to me!
